ok. breaking news an r.t.a. a triumph of diplomacy a deal between six world powers and iran over its nuclear program is reached effectively putting an end to a decade long standoff correspondents brings reactions from across the globe but iranian. enrichment program will continue this first does not say that iran has a right to enrich but what exactly did the sides agree upon. this being the war has started three in geneva and it's going to be go on for another six months experts warn that the vague language of the agreement could see all sides interpret the deal to suit themselves also. on the story mistake

threatening the whole world israel blasts the deal with the rand warning that it could trigger a nuclear arms race in the region. welcome it's good to have you company now we start with breaking news here in the world powers in iran have reached an historic nuclear deal ending a decade long deadlock over terrans nuclear ambitions the breakthrough came after more than four days of intense talks in the atmosphere of unprecedented secrecy and a near media blackout act boyko was in geneva with a delegation of russia's foreign minister to follow the discussions. the momentous occasion first of all off to two sets of failed negotiations before this ten years of political wrangling over iran's nuclear issue five days of talks intense

heated talks in geneva a night of several hundred journalists sleeping in the media center waiting for a decision and we finally have a breakthrough that historical deal has been reached now it's hard to describe just how tense the atmosphere has been here throughout the night waiting for any sort of news from those negotiations to find out whether or not that deal has been made and up until the very last moment when we received the news about the deal being made there was no way of knowing which way it was going to go because sticking points still remained between the sides now the agreement that we have at the moment according to the russian foreign ministry coincides with what russia had been proposing for the offset in these nuclear negotiations now we can take a listen to a lover of talking about that right now in

a bit more detail the students of that in the six negotiating agreed to recognize iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy including its right to nuclear enrichment on the condition that its program is placed under strict control by the way this will boost confidence and will let our e.u. and us ease sanctions against iran that danger used by the u.n. security council russia has never recognized the unilateral penalties easing pressure on the run should start with lifting. now among the details that one mention there by sergey lavrov is that this will be the six month freeze over iran's nuclear program no new centrifuges are going to be added and no new uranium enrichment facilities are going to be built and everyone has agreed to stop enriching uranium over five percent now so the deal here has been made it may only

be an interim deal for the moment which means that you have to start up again in six months time but at the moment if it was like a historic breakthrough. or despite hailing the deal with iran u.s. president obama said the majority of american sanctions against iran will stay in place. and has more now from washington president obama pledged to put a modest relief of sanctions in return for iran scaling back its nuclear program the relief will include freeing up a small portion of iran's overseas accounts as well as easing some other trade restrictions here's actually what the president said on our side the united states and our friends and allies have agreed to provide iran with modest relief while continuing to apply our toughest sanctions we will refrain from imposing new sanctions and we will allow the iranian government to

a portion of the revenue that they have been denied through sanctions. but the broader architecture of sanctions will remain in place and we will continue to enforce them vigorously and if iran does not fully meet its commitments during the six month phase we will turn off the relief and ratchet up the pressure while again this president obama said the u.s. would refrain from imposing new sanctions because it would undermine the breakthrough deal that they just reached to with iran we know that the u.s. congress was just about to pass another round of sanctions and the president has urged congress not to do that now although the obama administration now says sanctions have worked in these negotiations others argue that sanctions have created this hostile environment which throughout all these years made it impossible to reach a deal but still even though there is a temporary agreement the parties have already come out with what seems to be

different interpretations especially on the key issue of whether or not iran has the right to enrich uranium we believe that the current agreement current time of action as we call it in this thing places. a very clear reference to the fact that iranian. enrichment program will continue and will be a part of any agreement now and in the future this first step let me be clear this first step does not say that iran has a right to enrich but no matter what interpretive comments are made. it is not in this document there is no right to enrich before corners of the n.p.t. and this document does not do that president obama on his part said iran should

have access to peaceful nuclear energy but because of violations in the past he said he wants should be strictly limited in his capacity to develop a nuclear program now we have to take into account that the obama administration is now under a lot of pressure from the u.s. congress which is hardly in favor of any deal was iran and its allies israel and some of the gulf states which don't want to see iran sanctions sanctions relieved so president obama. he president obama as well as secretary kerry they had to work their statements very carefully and ultimately their message to both israel and their partners in the gulf was that this deal will eventually make everyone safer so it seems the deal has left room for different interpretations and as you times correspondent pepe escobar says this could be a disruptive too for those against a compromise with iran. the spin war has started at three am in geneva and it's going to be going for another six months kerry had to see that so

he could obese the israel lobby the u.s. congress and that one hobby petro dollar law of the us not to mention some new york aunts and us as well still very boncelles and in iran it's different they are saying we still have our right to enrich. and it's correct we have to follow the letter of the agreement this means the enrichment of two percent ok knowing richmond to twenty percent for the next six months no new centrifuges lowndes the specter of which will be on iran practical on a daily basis from now want if you have the usual infiltrators who starts spinning something else i'm sure iran won't bring their promises it's in their own interests while some u.s. lawmakers have already dashed at the abana administration the signing this deal the

republicans comments ranged from accusations of giving millions and not gaining anything to reproach is a uniting america's allies that i ask about explains where else we can expect to find disappointment with the deal. for the moment we have a breakthrough it's going to last six months there will be all sorts of interest to try to board this deal and i am say specially what dollar just is more like interests and the israeli law the as well but for the moment we have to go our must see in action something that we haven't seen especially between us in the room for thirty four years so this is the vision breakthrough at the moment but we have to be. just to remind you breaking news here in r.t. world powers and iran have reached in the story nuclear deal ending a decade long deadlock over terrans nuclear ambitions according to russia's foreign minister in the deal the world recognizes rance peaceful atom and uranium

enrichment under strict control of the. un atomic watchdog so let's take a more detailed look then at some key points of the deal that have already emerged firstly iran will reduce its uranium enrichment from twenty to a maximum of five percent and this level does ensure the pace for use of atomic material to iran is also supposed to stop adding new centrifuges sticking to dated equipment and keep the heavy water reactor near the town of iraq non-operational the un should have ran the clock around the clock ability to check can control any activity at the enrichment plants and then return sanctions will be lifted allowing taran to regain control of some of its assets said to be worth up to seven billion dollars for a period of up to six months now one country not happy about the deal with iran israel his foreign minister even said the green signals the beginning of

a nuclear arms race more details now with our correspondent in tel aviv poorest. so many of the response from the criticism coming out of tel aviv is harsh in deed comments such as this is a deal based on deception this is a deal that is reminiscent of the bad deal that was made with north korea and that this is also a deal that brings the world back to the nuclear arms race now that was a comment made by these countries fallen minister avigdor lieberman he has stated that the round has been rewarded by this deal he's actually called it the greatest diplomatic victory that iran has had in years but by comparison he says it's a diplomatic failure for the international community israel is not bound by it and that israel will not outsource its security that was a comment that was made by the country's economics minister enough to be bennett he went on to say that if in five years a nuclear suitcase detonates in either new york or madrid there will be as

a direct result of the deal that was signed today we've also heard from the former head of remove side tom he says that if a final deal is anything like this deal then really we are in trouble and that is a quote to later today we are expecting the american president barack obama to telephone the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to try and elevate some of netanyahu is concerns we also understand that they will be delegations of high ranking diplomats making their way to israel is also me has shown that it is true that isolated and sidelined by the international community and this is a comment that was also made by the country's finance minister who said that israel grady had a very bad choice here it was a choice between the plague and the cholera with you know appeared saying that israel was miffed all alone that having to explain the truth and all of its options were indeed bad and want to make the point though that at this point israeli officials have stopped short of threatening unilateral military action they say

that more time is needed to assess the situation but we have heard in the past from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu threatening that if such a deal is reached in geneva this will put military action back on the table and we are expecting a press conference from. fifteen minutes time so soon as it happens that we will go straight to it and i in the meantime israel's response to the deal we're going to get more on that because we're going to talk to a chap called gideon levy a journalist in kaunas from the haaretz newspaper he joins us live from tel aviv. good thanks very much for coming on to the program softening you've been following developments today. what you make of israel's comments i mean from the prime minister he says this is an historic mistake do you agree with that. no i don't agree at all but i'm not sure that my opinion counts i think that if you

judge it in a very cold way israel's security today is in a better position then two days ago because this agreement is any other compromise was for the benefit of all parties first of all it war was prevent potential bombing of the run facilities either by the united states or by israel this is not on the table anymore and this is for the benefit of peace no doubt about it secondly the arm race the development of nuclear potential in iran will be from now on controlled that's an achievement and above all i think that it's very important that iran is back in monk of the community of countries and not isolated isolated iran is always more dangerous than iran part of the west part of the east part of the world and in your opinion gee.

the israeli prime minister reflects the feeling the mood of the country or from what you're saying it sounds like the feeling on the street could actually be quite different. i think it became very secret of mr netanyahu for years. and today he stands in front of what is in he's a failure even a personal failure and then the story could fail and they give him the credit that he's totally genuine about it because he really believes it is a dangerous situation i think that his criticism will continue to be heard quite aggressive quite bitter but i don't think that the military option is really on the table when the whole world save its world and do you believe that the u.s. now i might try and persuade mr netanyahu to time. they

will try to i'm not sure that he will listen and you know the united states can live also with a barking dog kills will continue with his takes but is really so isolated about three that the world has said it's world as they say and i don't think that this will create a lot of problems even if it comes from jerusalem and you think will be any attempt of reconciliation do you think between the u.s. and israel live with us. on the personal bases there is quite a lot of tension for months now between the two leaders president obama and prime minister netanyahu. on the table is the palestinian israeli negotiations which are totally stark. and here is even in

a worse position because he's directly responsible to the fake the those that lead to nowhere and the only question is now what will a washington decide to do will they decide to go along with the. eighty two plainly just. to move anywhere in the peace process all will. become more decisive and then it can really create a major. crisis between the two countries see if the american president will really in the last years of his second try to push israel to put an end to the occupation but this time not only in words but also in real deeds if this will happen we are facing a major crisis between the two countries but it depends really about washington much more than about jerusalem ok thank you we will leave it there thank you very much there that's getting levy. newspaper life in television thank you.

more comment on the landmark agreement coming your way. again if we take up your personal example of the government tapping your phones and you know you see them later on today years later you know some governments can't afford to do that not only you know again some prominent journalism homes again some has a state i remember thinking at the time they discovered all this if they were tapping my phone for this ocean in consequential. nation demonstrating tapping into the telephones here in.

foreign debt maybe born to the million i would stage what it takes its first first breath. is fifty thousand dollars in debt. is that ringing home we have no money to give anyone how can you call us the richest country in the world when we're truly truly humans of dollars and. i would get them back to the top stories of the past week the flight data recorders from a passenger jet that crashed in the central russian republic of tatarstan a week ago have been analyzed investigators say the pilot caused the plane to nosedive into the runway at international airport killing all fifty two people on board and best to gauge is concluded that when the aircraft was coming in to land

there was a tailwind much higher than the acceptable limit for landing this type of plane at five hundred meters from the runway the jet was now to cheat of thirty meters and traveling at two hundred eighty. kilometers per hour that's when the pilot told air traffic control he needed to make another circuit of the runway to land he pitched the nose is the plane's nose up and that caused it to both rise and slow to a dangerously low speed and to gain momentum the pilot then pitched the nose down eventually going into an uncontrollable dive and plunging into the ground at four hundred fifty kilometers per hour. went to the scene of the tragedy. the final traumatic moments of a flight that had almost completed its journey forty four passengers six crew members everyone on board gone doc was dead although he was such a good boy healthy and handsome he had

a good family his son is only three years old he made many plans for the future a tragedy that meant family friends and colleagues in their rivals for waiting to welcome their friends and loved ones home or instead reading their last. meeting his two associates yana from moscow and donna from cameras in england one of the two foreigners on board that moscow took us on flight they were on their way to take part in a business master class for local students. we all knew what happened but many kept hoping until the very last moment that their relative sense survived the horrific picture many became hysterical community doctors helped because some lost consciousness others had to lean on walls. just are close at hand to ready for the victims' relatives whenever they were needed ambulances are also on standby for when the shock is too much to bear was because the complications we couldn't pick asian in the early began government in its campus there nobody is only fragments

the force and speed of the impact means there are few clues right now the flight recorders have been taken to moscow since they were badly damaged but could reveal what was said in the final few minutes in the cockpit and whether the plane was functioning normally twenty four hours after sunday's plane crash flights have resumed international airport but it's not business as usual scores of people have been coming in bringing flowers to show their respects to the victims while instead of new evidence giving answers the latest footage of the crash is only raising further questions you've got this kind of r.t. in russia republic after their start. now american troops may stay in afghanistan even after the twenty fourteen withdrawal of international forces and. immune to afghan law the loya jirga the council of elders has approved a controversial security treaty with the u.s. and though the body has no legal way it has much influence over decisions taken in

the country washington is pushing for a quick deal but the afghan president says any greenman should be signed by his successor after next year's election which if the deal is sealed up to sixteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay for ten more years and possibly beyond they will be playing a support role for the afghan forces while still being able to carry out military operations against al qaeda and its affiliates which also include raiding afghan homes and the exceptional circumstances an issue which has been extremely difficult for afghans here is another stumbling block the deal gives american forces immunity to afghan law placing them solely under u.s. military jurisdiction say some very controversial points there leaving president karzai with a tough balancing act karzai is worried of course that he owes his existence to the presence of the american forces that have kept him in

power and yet at the same time he knows that millions of afghans resent our angry indignation about the fact of the united states government has run roughshod over their country for the last twelve years what the united states is proposing is that the united states will maintain military bases and soldiers in afghanistan for a quarter of a century twenty twenty four is almost a quarter of a century after the two thousand and one invasion this is a clear instance of a colonial relationship where the united states invades an occupied as a country uses various pretexts and then maintains military bases so that ultimately whoever is the government after karzai the u.s. will be the determine or the real power in afghanistan. now thousands of people in ukraine have occupied a central square in the capital kiev over the country ditching a trade agreement with the u. these are live pictures we're looking at at the moment ukraine put the trade deal with europe on hold earlier this week is the government cited economic reasons yet says it can't afford cutting social programs as well as jobs over the ambitious

plans plus it's running out of cash and. willing to lend a hand brussels and moscow accused each other of blackmail into accepting offers over integration deals decision has split ukrainian society with more and more people calling for the government to leave and the president to be page these are live pictures you're watching from the demonstration from the capital kiev. oxana boy caus worlds apart is next here on our tape but we're also expecting as i said before the israeli prime minister's statement over the iran nuclear deal and as soon as that happens we'll go straight to it. there is now an all new form of humanitarian aid for the twenty first century

created by members of the occupy movement this is nothing to do with hunger or homelessness but a different key problem in the so-called first world debt the rolling jubilee project has already bought around fifteen million dollars in personal debt for americans around the country most of the financial obligations that they bought were for medical bills and now the people who had to pay these bills are free from their burdens the group claims that the secondary debt market is very cheap and they are able to buy the nearly fifteen million dollars in debt for only four hundred thousand dollars the secondary market exists because banks try to sell consistently unpaid debt to third parties for less than a nickel on the dollar right now i would be begging the rolling jubilee project to get rid of my college loans but alas this is always purchased anonymously so it's all pure luck who gets their debt purchased the important thing about this project is that they're actually doing something against an evil system instead of just blogging about it and although fifteen million dollars is a tiny tiny drop in the debt bucket it may have really saved the financial lives of

many americans but that's just my opinion. hello and welcome to worlds apart journalists have long defended their status as the fourth estate supposedly independent of the other three but as the lines between news and commentary facts and opinions are increasingly blurred don't we

need somebody to watch over there watched while to discuss that i'm now joined by our most famous reporter and one of the world's most intimidating to bit debaters winsome brown mr brown thank you very much for your time it's a privilege to talk to you when you began your long journalistic career i think it was clear who the journalists were and what was their status in the society what was their role but nowadays the media field is so broad so a diverse that but much everyone could be called a journalist i wonder how would you define journalism nowadays i think a defined in the same way as who i would have defined at the beginning of my career or as i hope i would have defined to my career. that our function is to hold institutions and persons of power accountable and that remains the primary role of journalists to operate in the current affairs arena and i think that remains the case but i think

a couple of decades ago the main way you would do that would be through you know raking the market doing some investigative reporting but these days most of the people of your caliber and as i said to you are the most influential journalists in this country do these shows that primarily center on opinions rather than you know investigative stories and we can see that trend all around the world these days i wonder why do you think that is why is this transformer and this preference for opinionated journalism is so prevalent as you see it his opinion is journalism i feel sorry for different lights. the factual reporting now is twenty four hours from now. and also with social media and with the internet people are getting facts on the tapping around the world very immediately and from lots of different sources so the function of journalists has changed a bit and it is to make sense of this huge torrent of facts that become available

to audiences and yes i suppose the analysis of those facts and the interpretation of those facts involve certain opinions but that was always the case because for instance in the choice of stories that we thought were important that reflected our perspective our etiologies and duck was always a factor and that remains a factor you just mentioned the torrent of facts but how do you really really know that we are only talking about facts because all those social media that you just mentioned you know sometimes there are people who are not necessarily professional journalists who are putting the information out there on twitter on facebook on you tube. and those people often seeking to influence somebody else's opinion on the subject so it seems that this drop of the reporting when you actually go somewhere in the filled and when you try to ascertain what really happened on what the.
